  9. This is a beautiful story. It is about a girl who makes the most magnificent paintings. She wants to make money and cant be a rickshaw driver. But when she tries to ride her dads rickshaw she accidentally crashes it into the woods. Her father brings it to someone to repair it. the woman says she could use some hep so the girl painted on the rickshaw to earn money and got a job to work for the woman. I recommend this book to anyone EVENT BOYS. I could stop reading this book it is so amazing what they did in this story to help each other.
